WATCH: Joel Embiid's special night as he outguns LeBron James

Joel Embiid had a night to remember on Sunday night as he outshone LeBron James to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 143-120 drubbing of the LA Lakers.

The All-Star center, who was a doubt before the game because of illness, scored 37 points and grabbed 14 rebounds as the 76ers won their second straight since the trade deadline and the signing of Tobias Harris.
